The plaintiffs’ breach of contract
lawsuit, opens new tab, filed in San Francisco, alleges students were kept in the dark about the law school’s bleak finances and that administrators haven’t provided adequate transfer options for students left in the lurch.
Golden Gate University issued a statement on Friday calling the lawsuit “frivolous” and said officials were looking forward to its “prompt dismissal.”
The lawsuit also claims that Golden Gate president David Fike mismanaged the law school by taking out loans against the law school campus, launching unproven new degree programs, and
eliminating tuition for students beginning in 2022 in a bid to make the school more competitive.
